This was a pretty weak hurricane.



A relative statement that has no intrinsic value.

I'm honestly beginning to wonder if we would be better off to let the levee go below St. Bernard and let the river flood naturally to rebuild those wetlands...would it be cheaper just to buy the people out who live in the east bank of Plaqueminse Parish?

This time 1000000000

Blow it right at the Conoco refinery

Needs to happen in a number of parishes - Lafourche, Terrebonne - but never will, because it will require massive government action - taking of people's property.

Anybody hearing that there is a mandatory evacuation of Jesuit Bend?

ETA: this is what I heard, "If you are south of Port Sulphur stay put. If you are north of Port Sulphur an south of the flood gate get the frick out or you will drown." that sounds a but dramatic, but that's what I just heard.

well, some of this can be rectified with building codes....don't let anyone rebuild a slab house...and the cost of homeowners and flood insurance can take care of some of it too...

how old is that subdivision in Braithwaite?
